About this city
Weston is a historic city and the county seat of Lewis County, West Virginia, located along the West Fork River. Established in the early 19th century, it grew into a major regional center for agriculture, rail transport, and exquisite hand-blown artisan glass craftsmanship. The city's landscape and national historical narrative are profoundly dominated by the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, a colossal 19th-century hand-cut stone architectural marvel that ranks among the largest of its kind in the entire world.
